Goshen’s Churros are a wonderful fried dough treat that is good for many occasions. In Spain Churros are served for breakfast and dipped in Spanish hot chocolate. Goshen’s Churros are also good for a wonderful dessert. For us Americans it is a wonderful exotic treat. Goshen’s Churros are recommended to be made and eaten with Goshen’s Dip that is also a Spanish hot Chocolate.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

· 2 cups(about 227grams) of all purpose flour

· ½ cups(about 113 grams) of unsalted butter

· 3 large eggs

· 4 cups(about 1 liter) of extra-virgin olive oil

· ¼ cup(about 57 grams) of sugar

· ¼ teaspoon(about 1 gram) of sea salt

Recommended:

· 2 cups(about 500 milliliters) of Goshen’s chocolate dip

Directions:

Step 1: The first step in Goshen’s Churros is to combine the butter, salt, and 2 cups(about 500 milliliters) of water into a medium pot. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to boil. Then stir in the flour and reduce heat to low. Stir consistently until the batter forms a ball and then remove the pot from the heat.

Step 2: The next step in Goshen’s Churros is to beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the eggs into the batter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag and fitted with a star tip. Then fold down the bag to compress the batter.

Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a large pot until it reaches 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius. (You might want to measure for this temp on a candy thermometer.) After the temperature reaches 350F or 180C get the batter and squeeze 3 or 4 inch (about 10 or 12 centimeter) strips into the hot oil.

For Goshen’s Churros I recommend you squeeze them out to look like long ribbons.

Step 4: Fry the dough until it is golden brown (this should take about 4 minutes.) Transfer the Churros to a plate covered in 2 paper towels to drain off the excess oil. Spread the sugar on a plate and while the Churros are still hot roll them in the sugar.

Repeat with the remaining batter; allow the oil to return to 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius between batches. Serve Goshen’s Churros with small cups of hot chocolate and enjoy.
